Foreskin's Lament
A Memoir
Shalom Auslander - Author
- Paperback: $15.00 add to cart
A New York Times Notable Book, and a chaotic, laugh riot(San Francisco Chronicle) of a memoir first time in trade paperback.Fierce, funny, and subversively heartfelt...With his middle finger pointed at the heavens and a hand held over his heart, Auslander gives us Foreskins Lament. Mazel tov to him. And God? Well, hell survive.
Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was estranged from his community, his religion and its traditions, he could not find the path to a life where he didnt struggle daily with the fear of Gods formidable wrath. Foreskins Lament reveals Auslanders painfully, cripplingly, incurably, miserably religious youth in a strict, socially isolated Orthodox community, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family.
New York Times Book Review
Auslander writes like Philip Roths angry nephew... a scathing theological rant, a funny, oddly moving coming-of-age memoir, and an irreverent meditation on family, marriage, and cultural identity. God may be a bit irritated by this book, but I loved it.
Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children and The Abstinence Teacher
A laugh-out-loud quarrel with God.
A terrific book I was sad I read in so few sittings, because I wanted more.
San Francisco Chronicle
Hilarious, caustic, and surprisingly moving.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Blasphemous and funny.
A surprise and delight.
Boston Globe
A fretful, self-effacing, bitter hilarious story.
The Houston Chronicle
Wryly comic.
New York Magazine
Hilarious, caustic, and surprisingly moving.
Philadelphia Inquirer
A very funny memoir.
Lyrical, hysterical funny and angry.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
An audacious, poke-God-in-theeye memoir.
Miami Herald
You've described this book as a kind of "Marley and Me" with the Lord, only Marley in this case is a maniacal pit bull. Why are you so angry at God?
I'm not angry at God—God's angry at me. And you, by the way, in case you didn't know it. This is what the religious leaders of my youth told me then, and it's what religious leaders still say now. "Maniacal pit bull" may not be their words, but it's their concept. I'm just stuck trying to deal with it.
There has been a surge of religious fundamentalism around the world, including this country. But in response, the secular West offers either a vapid materialism or an angry atheism, as in the books of Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins. Is there another alternative? Can people really live without religion?
I hope so, because they're doing a lot of dying with it. But life is a b----, and being aware of your own mortality sucks, so I can understand the appeal. I've heard it said that religion is a vestige of our past, something we've grown beyond. I wonder if it isn't the opposite—that religion is something we haven't evolved enough to deal with—that someday we'll be developed enough to handle a personal, individual conception of God and existence, and then churches, mosques and synagogues will be a justly embarrassing reminder of where we came from. "Daddy, what was a martyr?"
By your early thirties, you had more or less cut yourself off from your family and your former religious community. But then you had a son. Why was the decision about whether or not to circumcise him so difficult for you and your wife?
Because God's a lunatic, and I was worried about the retribution we would suffer if I didn't do it. On the other hand, I grew up on horrific tales of the Holocaust, and remembered the one about how some kids who looked Aryan were able to pretend they weren't Jews until someone saw them naked and realized they were circumcised and bam, Auschwitz. Was I ruining my son's only chance to survive the next Holocaust? Probably, yes. But if I didn't do it, was I increasing the likelihood of God causing another Holocaust? Probably, yes. Belief is exhausting.
You make it very clear that you don't want your son to have the kind of religious upbringing you had. But will you raise him without God, or is it a particular idea of God that you want to protect him from? Do you think he'll reach the Promised Land, even though you may not?
The Promised Land I describe in the book is an anti-Promised Land, one without God, or at least the God I had. If my son grows up and looks around and decides that there's a God, that's his decision, and if it offers him comfort and solace, so be it. But I won't condemn him to a life of fear and terror. My son is almost three now, and he has never heard a single tale of floods, furious vengeance or hell. He's on his way, the lucky bastard.
You write very frankly about sex and pornography and how it affected your marriage. Is there still a kind of taboo there, not about clinical detail, but about approaching the subject with emotional honesty?
Yes, which is why it's so much fun to do. As ashamed as we all are of our peepees and baginas, we're much more ashamed of our minds and imaginations. Which is why, I think, we're more comfortable with sex scenes and less so with scenes of everything around sex—the hidden magazines, the insecurity, the worries afterwards. Funny stuff.
Are you still afraid that God is going to kill you or someone you love? How will you prevent that?
Yes, of course. You aren't? I can't prevent it—this book is something of a history of my trying, though, from slavish adherence to His asinine rules to outright rebellion and back again. But there's no winning—He's Scarface. You can't reason with Scarface.
Are you concerned that this book will be seen as being only for Jewish readers? Or do you think that people of all faiths share the same struggle?
I know they do—the most gratifying experiences I've had in publishing have been at readings where Calvinists, Christians and Catholics have come over and said, "Yes, exactly." No Muslims yet, but they're out there. The holy books are all the same, only the nouns are different. I hope it finds a readership outside of the Jewish community. It would suck if only hunters read Hemingway, or only alcoholics read Carver. I read "Persepolis," for Christ's sake, doesn't that count for something? I read "Uncle Napoleon." What's fair is fair, non-Jews. Come on.
What does eating a Slim Jim or a McDonald's cheeseburger mean to a boy from your background?
I ate my first Slim Jim when I was nine years old. The Sages make no bones about it—one bite of non-kosher and you're out. No haggling, no deal-making. "God hates you in this world and tortures you in the next." That's a direct quote, kids. It wasn't until I wrote about it for this book that I realized how much the issue had in common with homosexuality. I didn't meet any homosexuals until I was already in my twenties and living in the East Village, but when they told me stories about growing up in the closet, hiding their desires from their families and finally coming out to them with often-disastrous results, I thought, "Yes, that's me. But with teriyaki-flavored machine-separated meat sticks."
Why do you feel like a foreskin, and why do you think so many other people do too?
Without ruining the outcome of the book, let's just say that as the birth of my son approached and the question of his circumcision became more immediate, I began to feel for the poor little foreskins, and realized how much I felt like one—unwanted, cut off, bloodied, tossed aside. I had lived in the East Village, then the West Village and now in Woodstock, NY; so many of the people I have met and known are foreskins in one way or another—estranged from families, communities, looking for something new, something better. An unfortunate analogy, but accurate nonetheless. Weren't the Founding Fathers a bunch of foreskins—leaving England, looking for something new? Didn't Washington say something about his being a foreskin? Probably not, but he should have.
Why did you once walk fourteen miles to watch the Rangers play at Madison Square Garden?
Because the game was on a Saturday. The God I was raised with had very specific rules about what I could and couldn't do on Saturday. God was going to make them lose if I got in a cab. Duh.

Multichannel Fast-Acting Dynamic Range Compression Hinders Performance by Young, Normal-Hearing Listeners in a Two-Talker Separation Task
Because of the well-known benefits of dynamic range compression, sound engineers routinely use this tool as a normal part of their professional activities. Hearing aid designers also use compression. However, compression can impede perception of independent sound sources in a complex aural environment. When normal young listeners were given the task of recognizing keywords from two simultaneous talkers, their performance worsened when compression was applied to the mixed signal. Even when performance remained unchanged, the cognitive load, as measured using a secondary task, increased significantly. The results indicate that excessive compression can lead to increased listening effort.

So far, I have a basic waypoint system set up, so the AI caes follow the track. I also implemented a system of raycast "whiskers", so the cars can do some simple obsacle avoidance.
The proble is, they get stuck in corners way too easily, and generally look stupid.

I'm working on this new cute character, adding volume to it's hair proves to be the most challenging part so far :) It's just work in progress and I plan to improve some parts (ears, tail, paws).
What do you think, not too scary? :)
That's really cool! @Mike | Creative Mints| Creative Mints

You must be living on another planet and having more than 24h a day. :)) Again an absolutely stunning work!
Rafał Urbański
love you works man but this one is not the same quality as usually ;/ The fur is not so detailed and looks kinda flat
Nemanja Jovanovic aka Frac...
hehe not scary at all rather cute creature :),yeah fur wil be sweet when finished also add few notches of shadow under armpits and around stoamch to give it more depth with slughtly darker fur,also when ua dd slight touch of sub surface scattering to the ears its wip and as ussual u gonna rock it :)
Rodrigo Grundig
In my personal opinion, I think the eyes are way too open and is giving him a scarier/crazier look than a cute one, but I'm not sure if that's what you are going after. The fur could really have a more contrasty shading too. I hope that's helpful :)
Luboš Volkov
I like it, but those teeths are too strong for me. Not 3D more like cartoon. But its still like from outerspace!
Looks good! As far as adding volume, I'd suggest getting a brush that lets you paint multiple, thin hairs at once [like this one] and just going over the shadows and adding lots of subtle detail. You can get away with quick brush strokes on most of it so long as you have the detailed hair where it counts :)
I'd also fix the shading on the nose, right now it looks far too cartoony to match the rest of the scene. The claws and teeth look good, the bamboo and ears are good but look flat without a texture and more defined shading.
Facial expression's are really tricky to do... this one looks slightly more "fearful" than cute. Look at "shy" on this; you want it to be more like "grin" or "innocent", I think. Still, I'm no expert on expressions, and it looks pretty good already
Look forward to seeing the final, good luck!
Jeroen Marechal
Looks great so far. That bamboo looks crispy! As mentioned above the tooth should have more depth / 3d'ish touch

Amazing...could you post some video tutorial? Or just record it like a time lapse video so we can see the whole craft :)

one of your real gifts is in color man. it's always coming off the page at me. good work as always.
Kevin Hamil
I think it's really good actually. Others have made some good points... for me, I think it would be less scary if you didn't see so much of it's gums.
Looking at your sketch, it seems less scary not seeing the gums of his mouth, which I personally like. But adding the gums is what makes it more on the edge I think.
Great work.

Outstanding!! @Mike | Creative Mints| Creative Mints

Open for breakfast (separate menu), lunch, and dinner. Shakes are a must-have on the menu. There's also a variety of blended fruit juices, vegetable juices, and milk. Soy milk rightly recommended vs. cows milk. Shakes are 25-28 pesos ($2-3). Healthiest pancakes I've ever had -- they tasted like bran muffins and were fantastic. Breakfast is approximately 60-80 pesos ($6-8) per person. Lunch and dinner is approximately 80-130 pesos ($8-13).
Located right across the street from Fiesta Americana. Approximately 15 minutes' walking distance north of the party strip with Coco Bongos, towards Plaza Caracol.

The atmosphere is incredible. The restaurant is built around huge trees, no ceiling, and all is lit with small lights. You feel like you are eating in a jungle. The service is friendly and the menu is extensive. Many types of fruit drinks, veggie burgers, typical Mexican food, yet vegetarian, and salads galore! You can get any combination of smoothies and fruit drinks.My favorite was the Oasis. The veggie burgers included about 10 different choices of toppings- mushrooms, cheese, peppers, onions, etc. Caesar salad is made with a yogurt dressing- no anchovies. We Portions are huge- we always overordered. Many different types of burritos and sandwiches and pastas. We ate here almost every night when we stayed at Playa del Carmen. Very inexpensive prices. Waiters were super friendly, service was a little slow so don't go in super hungry.

Transmission fee: £5.50. One total repayment of: £183.49. Representative 5853% APR.
Benefits of using Wonga
1) We give you flexibility and control
Typical payday loans are tied to your payday and charge around £25 per £100 borrowed, regardless of how many days you borrow for.
We know you might only want to borrow money for a few days to solve an emergency cash flow problem or take advantage of an opportunity you can't miss which is why with Wonga, you choose how much to borrow, to the pound, and for how many days. The best bit? If you want to repay early, you can – there are no early repayment fees and you'll save on interest.
2) We're convenient
Applying for a loan is straightforward.
You can apply online and if approved we'll send your money within five minutes. And because we're online, you can apply 24/7, 365 days a year. You can even apply for a loan on the go, through our mobile website, iPhone app and Android app.
We want to make repaying as hassle free as possible and that's why we automatically take repayment on your due date from the debit card details you registered with us. Make a note of your repayment date, and make sure you've got enough money in your bank account on your repayment date to repay your loan. If we haven't received full payment by 5 pm on your repayment date, you'll be charged a £30 missed payment fee and this may impact your credit rating. Interest will also continue to accrue on your account. Take a look at how we collect payments.
If you're struggling to repay your loan for any reason, please contact us straight away, and we'll do our best to find a fair and flexible solution which takes your financial circumstances into account.
3) We're transparent
We'll always tell you the full costs upfront and the total amount to repay before you apply. There are no catches or hidden fees to worry about – even if you repay early and unlike some other lenders we don't charge early repayment fees.
Our flexible, short-term service comes with a representative APR of 5853% APR, but bear in mind that the average loan duration is usually less than 20 days. We provide short-term loans, while APR is an industry-standard calculation that looks at annual repayment costs. We don't actually charge thousands of per cent in interest.
You can find more information on our APR here.

Each drug rehab in Schenley, Pennsylvania has a different approach to the recovery process. Take note of what is important to you, and make decisions based on your personal needs. Keep in mind that in Schenley there are a multitude of treatment options to choose from: outpatient treatment, in patient treatment, support groups, drug rehabilitation, alcohol rehab, drug treatment programs, sober living, halfway houses, long term treatment, short term treatment, counseling, and many more. An individual can become thoroughly confused by asking a half-dozen recovering alcoholics or drug addicts in Schenley how they conquered their abuse of alcohol or drugs; the answers vary although each of them are convincing and emotional. They will cite such diverse approaches as hospitalization, diet, exercise, counseling, sauna's, religion, hypnosis, amino acids and self-help groups. When it comes to successful treatment, only one thing is certain: practically any approach will work for some of the people, some of the time. To put it another way, successful drug rehabilitation is like a designer suit- it's got to be tailor-made for each individual. A great deal of variation exists in the degree of dependence among drug users. The teenager who smokes marijuana three times a week is not as dependent as the thirty year old who has smoked marijuana six times a day for 15 years and has already relapsed after being in two drug rehabilitation centers. It's obvious that these individuals need different approaches to treatment. Similarly, among cocaine users are some who use it in binge fashion, one or two days a month, and others who use it several times each day. Again, different treatment approaches are required for each case.
For those who do not have a long history of drug addiction, an outpatient treatment program might be the correct decision. This form of treatment may be a viable solution for those who have a brief drug addiction history. These individuals might only need the guidance and counseling available though this method of treatment. On the other hand, those who have experienced an extended period of drug addiction, choosing the correct drug rehab program typically means that they should enter into an in patient drug rehab program not located in Schenley. The structure, 24-hour support and change of enviornment made available through this type of drug rehab recovery program can be highly effective for those recovering from a long term drug addiction problem. Most drug rehab professionals in do not recommend any one "best" treatment approach, recognizing the many variations among drug and alcohol abusers. In general, the levels of treatment range from simple and behavioral to complex and medical. The person dependent upon drugs or alcohol may have used the chosen substance for so long that he or she has literally forgotten how to cope with the daily challenges of life; how to have a meaningful, drug-free lifestyle; or how to solve the social or psychological problems that prompted the substance abuse in the first place. In these instances, a very comprehensive approach must be prescribed if the individual is to expect any degree of successful recovery. Once stability is achieved, the "clean" or sober individual can take several steps to enhance recovery and avoid relapse. Among the general recommendations are belonging to a group as a support system, having a religious involvement, practicing good health habits; including proper diet, sleep, and exercise, as well as goal planning and self enhancement projects.

These special moments became defining moments in our lives, enabling us to see things in a different light and recognize opportunities we did not know existed before, because our loved ones cared enough to intervene.

don abrams - barrel of makers, newark DE - makes robots, software
Karin Fitchett - TC Makers - 2 years - metal arts, mixed media, robots
Nathan - Pumping Station One, Chicago - websites, Ps1 = electronics, arts, great stuff
Adric from Quelab in Albuquerque NM, 1yr 2mos- geek fo all trades
Willow - jigsaw renaissance seattle - educational programs -
Jeff at CT Hackerspace, watertown CT - 1 year - making space great!
Had a great time.
We will post the talk to blip.tv so you can see how to represent us (thanks to zname for suggestion)
The Space Federation set up SpaceCamp, gathering maker and hackerspaces from around the USA, at each of the MakerFaire events this year, and also facilitated panel discussions on education in hacker and makerspaces. At MakerFaire NYC, we had the help of volunteers from the hackerspace community--Jeff from CTHS, Karin from TC Makers, and others volunteered to help explain to the many thousands of visitors just what a hackerspace or makerspace is all about. We are so grateful to all those who helped, and the help enabled us to explore MakerFaire and meet with sponsors and others who can help us.
- Jeff from CT Makers: Between volunteering at SpaceCamp and doing the display for our space, I enjoyed my day there! Got to talk to people from all different levels trying to do different things. The people who were not aware of what a hackerspace was.. great to hear. People who were in the know but didn't know about Space Federation it was good to help them. It was also great to share what CTHS is trying to do, absolutely my pleasure to participate.
- Karin from TC Makers: Agrees! Enjoyed engaging with so many people. Thinking about why it was important. Definitely has a need to be so much more, have so many other hackerspaces in more cities. I really enjoy going there and participating.
- Carl, Pensacola FL: Was encouraged to hear Space Federation on Ira Flatow's Science Friday right before MakerFaire. Saw TED about the long tail. Is excited about the whole movement. We have access now to bigger and better tools. The corps are good at specializing labor. We can get a hold of that, gain access to that value. Was so encouraged to start a space--has only been trying for 4 days, doesn't even have a name for space yet, barely has 4 members yet, but excited about the vision.
- James: Bucketworks, Milwaukee WI. Hosting a startup called H2OScore which is engaging students to create a website that collects water data and aggregates it for use by people who are trying to make their water use more sustainable. You punch in your address, and it tells you how much water you use. Major challenge: We have 27k sq ft, we're just trying to figure out how to fill it. It's not being used enough. Part of that is because we were completely destroyed twice in a row a couple years ago, and moved to a new home.
- Dan from Bridgewire in Reno NV: Having grand opening soon. Working through the administrative tasks of creating the membership application, insurance, fire inspection, what donations will we take, refuse and policies around the same. Growing pains but going fairly smoothly. People are building a lot.
- Davin from Area515: just getting started. Formed for 2 months, been involved for 1 month. Incorporated last month, put in our board a week ago. Starting to find a space, about a week out then moving in getting things rolling. We're up to about 42 or 44 members who are interested.
- Don: Barrel of Makers, Newark NH - incorporated, have board. Stalled out getting 501c3, might just nix that. Get a weekly make night, see how that works out. Without 20 others actively involved we'll just wait for a space.
- Karin - TCMakers in Minneapolis - Top of next phase of development. Got new docs, waivers, got bylaws redone. Got stuff redone. Getting our documents up to current is the new thing we're working on, for example getting all new members to sign new waiver form. Still pushing around the 501c3 issue. Lots of events, open house on Wednesday nights.
- Nathan - Pumping Station One in Chicago - we decided it would be good to go forward with hiring a contract employee, allocated funds for that, looking to Space Federation for getting paperwork involved with that. This person would answer emails that come in, update the FAQ, and help maintain the infrastructure of the culture, etc so directors can focus on continually evolving things. Mini Maker Faire in Chicago in the pipelines for 2012. Power Racing Series just launched a kickstarter so they can get to the next level of the races.
- Adric- Quelab Albuquerque NM - LLC to NPO. Working on two month project of doing a haunted lab for halloween as a fundraiser. Outreach, hack nights on Sundays &Tuesdays &Co-working Wednesdays. Don't have enough members, who will clean up the mess?
- Jeff - CT Hackerspace - 1 year old, getting ready to do our open house. Had an event this past Monday. Getting NPO, enough membership, growth.
- Willow - Jigsaw Seattle - doesn't know how things are going, and it's awesome! Recently worked through succession planning as the founder of the organization, handing over to the board. Good topic for the rest of the people who are starting spaces--when do we get a break after all the hard work?
- sponsorship - free hosting - space kit - group exemption - sharing updates - communications -
SponsorshipThe School Factory has been receiving a lot of interest from companies in sponsorship opportunities. We are interested in learning more from you about what kinds of sponsorship would be most useful. What could companies like Dell, Microsoft, Autodesk, Radio Shack, TechShop, SparkFun, and more offer to your spaces and your members? Let us know!
Rackspace Hosting: The School Factory and Space Federation are helping Rackspace help San Antonio create a new collaborative workshop called Geekdom. In return, Rackspace have been amazing sponsors so far, and have extended an opportunity to Space Federation members to get hosting credits for Rackspace Cloud. They believe in what we're doing and have been generous enough to offer Space Federation members access to their Startup program. Your members can use this to kick off projects, launch prototypes, whatever you can imagine. Go here to sign up:
When you sign up, in the Description field, include this text:
"Our space is a member of the School Factory's Space Federation program."
Help with the Space Kit!We're inviting the people from the more established spaces to help us complete the plans and documents for those who are just starting their spaces. Contribute your experiences to the pages under the Space Kit Notebook pages, which are wiki pages.
For example we heard from DenHac that mentioning hackerspace in your 501c3 application can get you denied. Sharing what you experience can be a make or break issue for those getting started!
To participate, create an account and contribute to http://atrium.schoolfactory.org/spacekit/overview
Also, if you're willing, adopt a space! Help those who are just starting--be a resource. If you're willing to help out, make a comment on this post and we'll ping you back.
Status Updates and Atrium TrainingWant to get your own group in Atrium like All Hands Active, Pumping Station One, and Bucketworks have? Need help making Atrium work and navigating and finding things? Join James for Atrium training on Sep 28 at 6pm CST. Details will be posted here on how to connect.
Global SpaceCampWe are hosting a weekend-long unconference for the leaders of spaces. Our goal is to attract 2 people from each of the 200 or so spaces in the USA. We're inviting each space to nominate its city as the host site for the event. We'll provide support and planning, you provide people and space. More details at http://atrium.schoolfactory.org/spacecamp
Floor Plan Map BookWe are creating a huge atlas of hacker and makerspaces floor plans. Contribute your ideally hand-drawn plan to the book project here:
Thank you! Please feel free to edit this post and clean up mistaken typing, names, or incomplete entries if you were on the call!

Calif. adds water diversion fines
By LEN RICHARDSON
State law requires those who divert water from our lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks to report their monthly diversion and use. For the health of California, it is important to understand how much water is available versus how much is being used.
There are four types of water-use forms that diverters file with the California State Water Board, or SWB. The new penalties apply specifically to Statements of Diversion and Use.
With some exceptions, those who divert water after Jan. 1, 2009 and commit any of the four categories of violation are subject to the new penalties. Those who do not have to file statements may have to file other types of use reports which are subject to different laws and provisions.
Key Points
• Many don't need to file diversion reports, but use reports.
• The California State Water Board fine for false reporting is $25,000.
• California and Kansas both impose false reporting penalties.
Those exempt
Those who do not have to file Statements of Diversion and Use include:
• those who divert from a spring that does not flow off the property on which it is located, if the total diversion is not more than 25 acre-feet per year
• those that divert under a small domestic or livestock stockpond registration or certificate
• those that divert under a permit or license to appropriate water issued by the SWB
• those that divert from a source regulated by a court- or state-appointed water master, where the water master maintains records of the diversion.
If a violation is discovered, the SWB will notify those responsible and may assess the initial penalty.
The period for correcting the violation begins on the date of notification. The penalty increases daily after the correction period has passed. The deadline to file water use for 2009 is July 1, 2010.
The penalty for accidental misstatement $250 to $500. This includes misstatements caused by a broken water measuring device.
The willful misstatement penalty is $1,000 to $25,000. This includes those caused by tampering with a water measuring device. Other violation penalties are nothing to $500.
Current law requires supplemental statements to be filed every three years. Supplemental statements can be filed using an online reporting system. First-time filers may print the paper Statement of Diversion and Use from the Publications and Forms page at www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/publications_forms/forms/index.shtml#statement
State comparison
In Kansas, annual water-use reports are mailed during the first week of the year and are due back in the office by March 1. If a report is not filed or is filed late, the Division of Water Resources accepts a reduced fine of $50, provided the report is filed before June 1. After June 1, the full $250 fine stands.
If they fail to respond, some violators have had the penalties deducted from their state tax refunds.
DON'T DIVERT: Waterways and farmlands make interesting patterns in the San Joaquin River-Sacramento River Delta — and diversion opportunities. They must be reported or the diverters will face fines.

Number one is Earl and Joyce Oliver Marler will be married 61 years Friday, March 29. Earl calls it 61 happy, glory-filled years.
But in the beginning, there is this from Earl:
"We were married in Columbus, Miss., by an old one-armed judge. Wood was his name.
"In the courthouse there was a line. In front of us was this old boy who, when the vows were finished, asked the judge how much he owed him.
'"Whatever she's worth,' said the judge. "The old boy laid a quarter on the counter and turned away laughing. The judge called him by name.
"As he turned around, the judged flipped him a dime with 'Here's your change.'"
True story, says Earl. And I believe him 'cause you can't make up things like that, no way … and I'm still laughing.
Earl, hope you and your bride have another 61.
If you're not sure, the guys out at Saks Baptist (U.S. 431) will be glad to help out.
Friday and Saturday, at Jeff Keys Auto Sales, Boston butts, ribs, hams, and chicken will go on the smoker. The meat will be ready for you at noon each day.
All proceeds go to the youth activities at the church.
In part:
"I wasn't aware of all that Mr. Jones had done. You sit next to great men and never know who you're really sitting next to.
"Reminds me of my childhood Sunday school classes at the old Rock of Ages Church as a kid.
"We always had one open seat for Jesus to sit during the hour."
Thanks, Jerome. Good story.

Pros – Good work/life balance. Great bonus program! Laid back company.
Cons – Once you are hired in for a particular position, you will be stuck with that position. No opportunities to move up within the company. People tend to stick around for a long time. Company pays below market value.
Advice to Senior Management – Create more opportunities for people to advance. Pay people what they are worth.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Today's boilers are pretty reliable. I'm not sure it is worth the cost to keep that intact.
One thing you could do that may make sense (if you can leave it where it is) is to use it as a tempering tank - leave it off, but use it's output as the input to the indirect. In the winter, you'd have a warmer supply of water to heat. If you plumbed a bypass, you could turn it on and use it for your hot water if the boiler died. Still probably not worth the cost. It might make a difference, depending on your electric rates.

In the past, it was extremely expensive and time-consuming to make a logo change at a company because so many materials were printed. Online has changed that and we encourage many of our clients to modernize and develop new logos for their brands. At the Marketing Technology blog, we even did it ourselves: Of course, not all logo updates went well this year. The Gap made the news when they retracted their logo change after a ton of embarrassing criticism online. As LogoTalks put it: The general consensus seems to … Continue reading

Insanity and Marketing
Pat has another great post on his blog about a trend in Australia where sports sponsors are seeing a decline in brand awareness – even though they continue to do the same things. What's the definition of insanity? Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Marketing and Advertising Insanity Wherever we find an Advertising Agency or a Marketing Firm, we find this don't we? People tend to admire their own work, ignore the data, and continue to work within their comfort zone: Agencies that are great at … Continue reading

…just so we can finally be rid of the "hey, are the Dodgers secretly trying to go after him?" rumors, ones we've been hearing for months and propagated again this weekend by Joel Sherman of the New York Post and T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times. Every time this comes up, Dodger fans understandably less-than-enthused by the fact that Mark Ellis and Adam Kennedy were two of the main offensive imports this winter try to contort themselves into a position where Fielder is actually the Opening Day first baseman for the Dodgers in 2012.
Over at Dodger Thoughts today, Jon Weisman links back to a piece he wrote several months ago that the Dodgers could and should sign Fielder, and there's absolutely no argument with that from me. On the field, Fielder is a massive improvement over James Loney and would be an ideal partner for Matt Kemp. In the front office, you look at a 2012-13 free agent market that has a ton of great pitching – Matt Cain, Cole Hamels, Zack Greinke, and Dan Haren among them – but little in the way of power bats beyond the always questionable Josh Hamilton and realize that obtaining a bat while you can is a great strategy, especially when first base (Loney) and right field (Andre Ethier) are both staffed by imminent free agents. Off the field, signing Fielder would be a huge public relations boon to a team that so clearly needs one. So no, you'll get absolutely no pushback from me that signing Prince Fielder would be a great thing for the Dodgers, other than perhaps a slight reluctance to add a third $20m+ annual salary, assuming Clayton Kershaw will soon be at or near that level along with Kemp.
Here's the thing, though; there's a pretty big difference between "does it make sense" and "is there really a sliver of a prayer that this could actually happen", and that's where I'd argue that it really isn't feasible. You can forget about the fact that new ownership is coming in, because as I mentioned yesterday, that's at least three months away. Camp starts in thirty days or less for most teams, and big-ticket free agents like Fielder don't remain unsigned after camps open – they just don't. That means if by some miracle Fielder makes it to Los Angeles for this season, it's going to be because Frank McCourt gives the go-ahead, not because a new owner is making it happen.
So what's McCourt's motivation to do that? Simers and others have argued that adding a star like Fielder would increase the sale value, but I'm not convinced it's that simple; as we've seen, the club is almost certainly going to go for $1.5 billion or more, shattering the previous MLB record. This isn't a situation where interest is lagging and McCourt has to do something to excite bidders; besides, bids are due on the club tomorrow, so unless we have an immensely entertaining evening ahead of us, potential owners are bidding on a Dodger club that does not include Prince Fielder. (Since the bids are just opening bids, they could possibly increase later if Fielder was around, but that's no guarantee; Bill Shaikin has suggested adding a $150m+ liability could actually depress bidding.) You could argue that McCourt wants to salvage what's left of his reputation by giving fans a big gift before he goes, but as ego-driven as he might be, I don't think even that is going to allow him to show his face in town after all he's done – not to mention the question of whether he'd want to be on the hook for the first two payments of Fielder's contract in April.
Like the rest of you, I'd love to see Fielder in blue. It makes a ton of sense. It's also increasingly tiresome to have the emotions of Dodger fans played with each time this comes up. So please, Seattle, or Washington, or Texas, or whomever else is interested, sign the man already. For all of us.

Keith Krach: A dot-com CEO returnsOctober 9, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
Ariba's co-founder is back - and he's trying to change the way you sign on the dotted line.
FORTUNE -- It's a boast you don't hear too often from CEOs: "I'm doing it for sport." Yet that's precisely what Keith Krach says drove him last year to become chief executive of DocuSign, a company that offers electronic-signature technology for transactions and document verification. "I never thought I'd go back and do the CEO thing again," Krach says, "but this is a great, high-performance team. It's a fun group of people. We all love to win."
Krach can afford, literally, to be a bit flip about his reasons for taking the DocuSign gig. The last time he did "the CEO thing," he was heading up Ariba, the business-to-business marketplace he co-founded in 1996. The company reached a peak value of $34 billion in the dotcom boom and this year agreed to sell to SAP (SAP) for $4.3 billion.
Krach, who at 55 is something of an elder statesman in Silicon Valley, left Ariba in 2001. He focused on philanthropy and took his eighth-grade son out of school for a year of adventures that included climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and building homes for Habitat for Humanity in Honduras. Krach got back into the tech game gradually, investing in startups and taking board seats. After two years as DocuSign's chairman, the opportunity to become CEO last year proved too good to pass up.
MORE: The 12 greatest entrepreneurs of our time
"This is like Ariba on steroids," he says. "Every company and every department in a company is a potential customer. Every individual is a potential user. By the second half of this decade, the vast majority of signatures are going to be electronic."
Indeed the rise of smartphones and tablets and the growing use of such devices for transactions (transmitting contracts and legal documents) translate into big opportunities for DocuSign, which recently nabbed a $55 million investment from a group led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Krach declined to disclose revenue, but DocuSign now serves more than 20 million customers.
It's easy to see why companies are embracing e-signatures. At Salesforce.com (CRM), for example, it used to take two days to go from a verbal customer agreement to a signed deal. "The sales guys would be pulling their hair out," says Jim Steele, chief customer officer of Salesforce, which is an investor in DocuSign. Now that Salesforce uses DocuSign, 90% of deals are completed in less than a day and 60% take less than 15 minutes, Steele adds. The service is free for signers, but businesses that send out documents for signatures pay monthly fees that start at $14.99 per user.
As the leader in the market, DocuSign faces increased competition from the likes of Adobe and from startups like HelloSign. DocuSign has responded with a consumer app, DocuSign Ink, which Apple (AAPL) selected as one of the best new apps of 2011. Its biggest competitor remains old-fashioned paper. Says Krach: "Once you use it, you never want to go back to the old way of doing things." Unless, of course, you're doing it for sport.
This story is from the October 8, 2012 issue of Fortune.

- Product From Hutchins Manufacturing
The Model 700 ProFinisher from Hutchins Manufacturing has a 5/16" (8 mm) offset which offers 25 percent faster material removal than their previous Model 600. It offers 12,000 rpm of sanding speed, user comfort and low vibration characteristics. No other big offset sander offers this combination, according to the company.
Magic Wool Polisher Pad and Hand PadProduct From Shurhold Industries
Shurhold's Magic Wool Polisher Pad and Hand Pad keeps glass windows clear and sparkling. Both versions of the pad come custom-blended from high-grade bronze metallic wool.

Space Saver Alignment Runway SystemsProduct From Bee Line
Bee Line designed the Space Saver Ramp to be installed in a smaller area than a standard ramp alignment system by reducing the total number of machine sections required. The design of the Space Saver allows a major portion of the ramp to be raised hydraulically to an operating level equal to the height of the Advanced Aligner Runways. The longer design of the Space Saver lifting ramp creates a more gradual incline, therefore requiring less runway sections. Once the truck is in position, the runways are hydraulically lifted with the touch of a button. The approach ramp incline angle allows low profile buses and RVs to drive on without bottoming out.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love these save the dates. To the color and text. The images came out really clear. My family and friends loved the idea of the magnets instead of paper. Thank you weddingpaperdivas for a phenomenal product. I will be ordering my invitations, ceremony programs and thank you cards."
"This product was awesome! Everyone who received one, exclaimed just how classy, distinguished and sophisticated it was. It was so wonderful and as a event planner, I would recommend it to all my clients!"
"I was searching for a nautical theme for our save the dates, as my fiancé and I are being married at our family lake house. The anchor theme was too cute to pass up. The design team worked with me so I could add our wedding website on the back of the postcard, so it would be neatly printed on the top. Additionally, the paper quality, image resolution and overall look of the card are wonderful. I have used Wedding Paper Divas for my thank you cards, my return addresses, and a sticker for our welcome bags. I cannot imagine working with another company-- they have helped solve so many of our wedding needs. Than you!"
"I was a little skeptical at first. So I thought well, I'll order the save-the-dates first, and if I like them then I'll order my wedding invitations. When they arrived, I immediatley LOVED THEM! I loved the quality of the paper, the picture, the design. They looked sooo professionally done, and they looked expensive, which they really weren't. Someone I know had save the dates for her daughters Quince, and I know she spent more, and they didnt have the same quality that mine do."
"We were extremely pleased with our Save-the-Date cards. We ordered this one in the pre-set green shade and loved it. It comes out as a very clean, bright green against the textured white. But not a neon green. Very classic - we've had many compliments!"

Seafood >Crab Landing Seafood & Steakhouse - Sushi & Oyster Bar
260 Capistrano Road, Half Moon Bay, CA | Directions 9401937.504686 -122.481942
Sun-Thu 8:30am-9pm, Fri-Sat 8:30am-10pm
Newly reopened. Great food, Excellent Service – Crab Landing Seafood and Steak House was closed for a period of time and re-opened. We went to sit at our favorite bar on the second floor, over looking the ocean, harbor and sun set. Had Calamari and fish tacos. Best we ever had. Service was excellent. Menu is similar to the old one. Every bit as good.
Nice location, we enjoyed this one! – Our experiences have been exactly the opposite of what I have seen posted here! Our service in all but one instances has been outstanding, in fact once so good that we called the restaurant to commend our server, Lauren! We have found them all to be very helpful and pleasant ! The one instance that was not outstanding was merely great!
We also enjoyed the food a LOT and have tried the crab all the different ways that it is made! Being 3rd gen SF we have been raised on crab, and have our favs: this is one of them.
the downside is that this is not an inexpensive restaurant, but worth a special occasion..... they also were very good with the grandkids (5 and 7 YO) the 2 times that we brought them with us.
Nice location, poor food and service – There were two of us, we arrived and were seated upstairs. We were unable to see the menu it was so dark they brought us a candle. We ordered appetizers, salad, entrees, drinks and wine etc.. One appetizer came (the other was sushi and did not arrive). My husband asked about the other appetizer and was told she would have to go get it ( she was OPENLY ANNOYED) We then got our salad, followed shortly by entrees. Then she arrives with the sushi appetizer, my husband said that he really did not want to eat an appetizer now that dinner started, she was angry and said she would take it off the bill (SHE DID NOT). She ran to the bar behind us and started crying!! She had all of the other waiters staring at us. For the remainder of the meal no one refilled our drinks, asked how we were etc.. Avoided us like the PLAGUE!! One of the meals was cold too, but at this point it was hopeless. I have never felt so uncomfortable!! I called the next day and spoke with the manager (he is the 3rd since they opened) who said he is on a sinking ship. DId not offer any compensation of any kind!! We will not go back. But we will go to Sam's Chowder House (which we found the next day).
nice location, poor food – We had dinner with 4 people during weekend of labor day. One plate, swordfish, was cold. After complaining they put plate in microwave and gave it back to us as is. Another plate was seared ahi tuna. This looked more like boiled rather than seared.
Great new destination spot on the coast. – My husband and I stopped by chance at Crab Landing on Sunday after walking the beach. We were curious about when it would open and found that they had an open house going on. They offered generous samples of calamari, clam chowder, shrimp cocktail and oysters on the half shell (all free). Everything we had was absolutely stunning. The decor is the most beautiful on the coast. There was a table set with samples of items from the menu, which is rather extensive. Everything looked beautiful and delicious. If it is as good as it looks, and as wonderful as the samples that we had - this will be an incredible destination spot for the coast. There is an outside patio for dining which welcomes pets, 2 floors with floor to ceiling windows and elegant, modern designs. They were very gracious and I think service will prove to be excellent. We are looking forward to coming here for lunch or dinner some time soon. Crab Landing is going to give every other restaurant a run for the money. Don't miss this place!
With special thanks and sincere gratitude from Crab Landing. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our Open House this past weekend. If you would like to receive an invitation to our Grand Opening celebrations, please provide your full name and mailing address at email@example.com

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the devastating tornado in Oklahoma:
"Our thoughts and prayers rest with the people of Oklahoma today, with the families and loved ones of those killed in this natural disaster, with the men and women injured in the tornado and now beginning the path to recovery.
"This week's storm left a town destroyed, homes decimated, lives changed and altered forever. The images of devastation in the tornado's wake are unthinkable; the wide-reaching impact on the children of Moore and throughout the area is heart-breaking and unimaginable.
"As rescue workers continue the search for survivors, Members of Congress stand ready to do what we can to support the communities in Oklahoma, the first responders, and state and local government in their efforts to recover, respond, and rebuild."

Article by Julie Frey
Raising a kid with bipolar disorder is not an easy thing. It usually causes a great deal of angst, to the kid. But, it causes a great deal of angst and anxiousness for the rest of the family as well. Unfortunately, as of yet, a cure for bipolar does not exist. Therefore, it is incumbent on everyone in the family to learn to deal with the current state of affairs.
There are several good treatments for bipolar disorder. When an adult has this illness, it is pretty standard for the doctor to prescribe one or more types of medication. When treating children, however, you have less leeway. The physician has to be much more careful when prescribing medications for a child. The reason is that a child is still growing and developing. As a result, you want to be as sure as possible that any medications he is given will not adversely impact the development of his brain or body. Therefore, even when medicines are prescribed for children, they are usually prescribed in limited dosages. And, due to this limitation, they will not always have the same effect in a child as they would in a grownup.
Due to the exaggerated effects that drugs can often have on a child, many times, therapy is just as significant in the treatment of bipolar children as are drugs. One of the primary causes of anxiousness in a child suffering from bipolar is his inability to understand why he reacts to things in a certain way. To help him to understand, we use therapy – one of the best means available in helping us to understand why we do certain things and react in certain ways.
During the course of speaking with his therapist about his issues, the thought is that he will gradually come to gain an understanding of bipolar and the reasons why it is causing him to behave in a certain manner. It helps to alleviate his frustrations. And, this understanding and demystification of the disease helps to come to calm his reactions to the illness and to come to terms with it. In addition, therapy can provide him with the psychological tools to better control his reactions when with friends and family or when by himself.
Over the years, many forms of therapy have been developed to treat illnesses such as bipolar illness. And, one type of therapy that has shown great utility is one known as social rhythm therapy or treatment. It is a relatively recent type of therapy. And it shows great promise in its ability to treat bipolar disease. This treatment mainly concentrates on helping the child to establish and maintain daily habitual rhythms in their lives.
Specifically, what this means is that the child will be advised and encouraged to set up regular patterns for his daily activities. This includes activities such as sleeping, eating, exercising, homework – everything that he typically does during the course of a normal day. So, for instance, rather than going to bed at random times during the week, he is encouraged to go to bed, every day, at the same time.
So, likewise for each of the normal activities that he does day to day such as eating, school, and other activities – he sets a regular schedule and routine. An in establishing these regular patterns, he will find that the stresses that occur during the day have less impact on him.
Recognition of how effective a form of treatment such as social rhythm therapy can be is important. It emphasizes the fact that, to be most effective, bipolar has to be attacked in various ways and not simply by drugs. And, by incorporating this type of therapy into the overall treatment process, he will find it much easier living day to day.
